Might buy a desktop computer, have a question

[arnoldhwang]

So I have an iPad mini with which I use to check email, do forums, and watch YouTube videos. I heard Microsoft Word is free for iPad and I plan to use it with a keyboard and mouse for the ipad (both of which I may buy soon). Is there any reason why I should buy a desktop? My brother will sell me one the is used if i need one. I am worried i might need a desktop so I'm asking you people.

If that's all you do, and the iPad mini serves your needs...you probably don't need a desktop PC.

other than the small screen no reason it won't do for those basic tasks. if you're trying to type research papers on it every week, it'll get old real fast staring at the small screen. but for basic surfing and video watching, it's plenty enough for that
